Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 84 Double Kill against Juventus
It was a powerful shot inside the penalty area, but the ball still spun wildly towards the goal. Buffon did everything he could to save it, but it still missed by a hair's breadth.

The football went directly into the goal.

"The ball is in!"

"A fantastic goal!"

"Shan Yongzhuo received the ball on the left side near midfield, dribbled past Sissoko, shook off Chiellini, and pierced the Juventus goal with a shot!"

"2-1, Roma has taken the lead again!"

"..."

Shan Yongzhuo's goal left Juventus frustrated, realizing that the team still didn't value him enough.

But what good is it to pay more attention to it?

While Sissoko's one-on-one defensive ability at Juventus may not be the best, it is definitely in the top three. To be ranked in the top three defensively in a team like Juventus is to be a truly formidable defensive player.

However, he was easily beaten, and Chiellini was unable to stop Shan Yongzhuo.

What else can be done?

The first half ended shortly after Shan Yongzhuo scored.

Juventus were incredibly frustrated, but there was nothing they could do. The opponent's performance was indeed outstanding. The first goal was a shot from outside the penalty area, and the second goal was even more spectacular, a goal scored from a long run.

The atmosphere in the locker room was somewhat heavy.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in Roma's locker room was indeed very relaxed, with everyone discussing Shan Yongzhuo's goal.

"Shan, you little rascal, that's your 33rd goal, right?"

"I think I remember correctly, you were just 3 goals away from breaking the record."

"The season is only halfway through, and you're already terrifying."

Shan Yongzhu smiled modestly, "No, no, it's nothing. It's just that the record of 35 goals is really too few. It's hard to imagine that no one has been able to break it for so many years. It can only be said that the previous people were too bad."

"..."

Looking at Shan Yongzhuo's very humble smile, the others felt as if there was a very strong suction between their fists and Shan Yongzhuo's face, requiring great willpower to restrain themselves.

Luca Toni, in particular, looked rather grim.

Toni has been Italy's top striker for years, firmly holding the position of the national team's starting center forward, and he naturally became the person Shan Yongzhuo mentioned before.

In fact, Toni's performance in Serie A was outstanding, and he came very close to breaking the goal record.

2005-2006赛季，托尼在佛罗伦萨打进了31个进球，也成为了意甲最近50年来首个打进30进球以上的人。

However, Shan Yongzhuo has now scored 33 goals in just 21 rounds of matches.

Not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods.

Tony was deeply impressed by Shan Yongzhuo's performance in this game. Shan Yongzhuo's performance was indeed outstanding. In comparison, he felt that Shan Yongzhuo's statement that the previous players were too bad was really true!
what?
You say you're excellent?

Sorry, let's talk about goals. If you're so capable, score 33 goals in 21 rounds before we start talking.

No, scoring 20 goals in 21 rounds is fine!
In that instant, Tony felt as if his era had truly passed, that he was really old, and that he was no match for young people at all.

However, my peak seems to have been a bit short-lived!
No! Tony thought he needed to think of a solution.

"Francisco's method won't work; he just figured it out on his own, and it's never been proven to be feasible."

"Or, could I try to get on good terms with Shan?"

“But Francisco also said that wouldn’t work, he’s just a bit stubborn…”

“Then I’ll build a good relationship with him first, and then pester him relentlessly. That’s right, that’s what I’ll do!” “Francisco just isn’t thick-skinned enough. He’s only become a friend and he’s already thinking about cultivation methods. Such a friendship can’t last, and of course, it can’t bring cultivation methods.”

"I want to build an unbreakable relationship with Shan, and then Shan will definitely not be stingy with being generous to his friends. I can even spend money to buy it."

"Yes, that's it."

Tony made up his mind to establish a strong and deep friendship with Shan Yongzhuo.

Subsequently, Shan Yongzhuo discovered that the entire team didn't think highly of him, including head coach Spalletti, with only one exception.

Tony seemed to agree with himself, even nodding with a smile.

"Yeah, a striker really understands a striker! Tony, as expected of a great striker, his insight is far superior to everyone else's!"

The fifteen-minute halftime break passed quickly.

The second half continued, and Shan Yongzhuo continued to be tightly marked by Sissoko. When Juventus attacked, Chiellini came over to cover him. In short, there was always someone by his side.

This was very upsetting, but Shan Yongzhuo didn't care.

Once you've used up your skills, the rest of the game depends on luck. If you're lucky, you might get a chance to take a shot or get a set piece.

If you're unlucky, then scoring a goal is basically out of the question.

So he resumed his usual leisurely pace and quite readily started chatting with Chiellini.

"Where's Fabio? I mean Fabio Cannavaro, why isn't he playing?" Shan Yongzhuo looked left and right, not seeing Cannavaro on the bench, and asked curiously.

"What's wrong? Are you two very close?" Chiellini asked irritably, his face stern.

"It's nothing, I just think he's a really amazing guy."

"Do you think he's stronger than me?" Chiellini scoffed. "Let me tell you, I, Giorgio Chiellini, am no easier to deal with than Fabio!"

"..."

Okay, Shan Yongzhuo tried to have a good chat, but he found that this guy really didn't have a good temper.

No wonder you got bitten.

"I was going to warn you to be careful of a Uruguayan named Luis Suarez."

"Now, I won't remind you anymore."

The rest of the match was uneventful, with Shan Yongzhuo maintaining a passive attitude, seemingly unrelated to the competition.

He has a certain understanding of his own abilities. Without specific skills, he might be able to deal with teams with relatively weak defenses like Genoa, Livorno, and Catania. However, given Juventus' defensive strength, it would be very difficult to score goals without specific skills.

However, although he did not score again, it did not affect the attacking back-and-forth between the two teams.

In the 77th minute, Roma won a corner kick. Pizarro took the corner, and Toni headed the ball into the Juventus goal.

In the 88th minute, Juventus launched a relentless attack and scored a goal. Amauri squeezed past Mexes and sent the ball into the net, but it was too late.

The match ended with a score of 2-3.

Roma secured another victory, and a significant one at that.

The end of this match also means that Roma has completed a double victory over Juventus this season, which can be considered revenge for being defeated by the same opponent twice last season.

Moreover, victories are very helpful in stabilizing the standings.

In the last round, Inter Milan unexpectedly drew with Bari, allowing Roma to widen the gap to 4 points, which is not something that can be caught up in one game.

This victory against Juventus will at least solidify our four-point lead, which is crucial for our title aspirations.
